This is so sudden and shocking. Eric was a dear friend to all of us, inside and outside the video world. He ran a first class company but more importantly he was a first class human being who would do anything for you at any time. We already miss our friend. Love and prayers to the Wade family from the Darius Rucker and Hootie and the Blowfish family. Godspeed Eric.
